LUC applies ‘Triple Challenge’ environmental principles to Harlow & Gilston Garden Town Project
Harlow & Gilston Garden Town has appointed LUC to the HGGT Green Infrastructure Framework. The Garden Town will create new communities in Harlow with many new homes, supporting regeneration of the Town Centre, as part of the growth Sir Frederick Gibberd originally envisaged.
Through Green Infrastructure, LUC is bringing the ‘Triple Challenge’ to the fore. The ‘Triple Challenge’ champions nature recovery, climate change mitigation and health and well-being within influential large-scale projects.
From Frameworks, to Strategies to Action Plans and across a range of scales, our consultation strongly leads our work. These studies have a typical lifespan of at least 15 years and, while they require ‘teeth’ to enact change, need to be sufficiently flexible to accommodate evolving policy, legislation and best practice during that time.
Under the ‘Triple Challenge’, our Green Infrastructure studies respond to future, cross-compatible initiatives, such as the emerging Local Nature Recovery Strategies and future Environmental Net Gain. LUC commits to progressing best practice in our approach to delivering Green Infrastructure studies.
